Si3N4-Si3N4 joining was accomplished by the use of glasses in the system CaO-SiO2 without any applied pressure. The properties of the glasses used and the Si3N4-glass joining reactions were carefully studied by several microscopic measurements. The EPMA and scanning auger analyses revealed that the joint layer formed by joining reaction between the Si3N4 and the glasses consisted of an oxynitride glass phase in the system Si-Ca-Y-Al-O-N with a continuous gradient of nitrogen content. The bond strength obtained from the Si3N4, joints was strong enough for practical use. We prepared Si-Ca-Y-Al-O-N oxynitride glasses with nitrogen content range of 0–4.85 at% constituting the Si3N4 joint layer, and measured several physical properties such as density, thermal expansion, crystallization temperature, and hardness. The results indicated that the Si3N4 joint layer produced look the most suitable form for accommodating the stress caused by thermal expansion mismatch between Si3N4 and glass.
